Why is nobody in Britain talking about the Irish Prime Minister openly reminding Sinn Féin on live TV that their movement collaborated with Adolf Hitler just to spite the UK? Taoiseach Micheál Martin just destroyed Sinn Féin's pious lectures on neutrality in sixty seconds. Here is the reality every British citizen needs to know 🧵

Churchill could have shortened WW2 by years if he had just “done a deal” with Hitler. George Washington could have done a deal to end the American Revolution. Zelenskyy is in good company.

Apologise for what? My response to @LeoVaradkar suggestion that southern nationalists should apologise to northern ones for neglecting them. irishtimes.com/opinion/2026/…

Opinion: Varadkar wants the south to apologise to Northern nationalists, but it’s more complicated

No Irish nationalist wanted partition. Partition was created by Westminster
